That's why I don't like bikes - in a car you can have a little skid or a lock up etc with not many problems, do that on a bike and most of the time you're off. I would definitely hurt myself badly if I were into bikes https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDZJB8m...subscriber
I love the place. Last time I was there was an MSV novice day that had cars and bikes (in different sessions) on the same day. Sitting in the clubhouse I'd flinch everytime cars went through Hall Bends from the sounds of their tyres screaming. Expecting it to be followed by a crashing sound each time ha. Hall Bends are lovely and flowy on a bike but all out violence in a car it seems.
You're lucky you don't have to go through the poxy chicane on the way to the mountain. Probably worst part of the track but you can see why they do it for the bikes for safety reasons. My bike is low powered (115 hp) compared to modern superbikes (180+ hp) but even still I was seeing 140mph down Park and the start finish straight.
Have you already started thinking about returning to Cadwell?
